The Coimbatore City Police have registered a case against seven men for assaulting patrol officers on Friday night (November 28) in Kovaipudur.
According to the police, patrol officers of D4 Kuniamuthur police station were on night duty around 10 p.m. near CBM College, Kovaipudur, when they noticed a group of young men celebrating birthday in a public place.
